ITO the Honorable Probate Court in and for l the District of Sharon.
 Estate of Samuel J. Prindle, late of Sharon, in said District, deceased.
 The application of Ruth s. Prindle, of said Sharon, respectfully showeth. That she is the Executrix of the last will and testament and codicil Of said Samuel J. Prindle, deceas- ed.

That the amount of debts due and oweing by said Charles M. Prindle at the decease of said Samuel J.

 That as appears from the account of said ExecturiX the share of said Charles M. Prin- dle in the personal estate of said Samuel J. Prindle, amounting to $16S.14, is insufficient to pay said debts by at least the sum of $2,- 491. .S2, and it is therefore necessary that the real estate, or a sufficient portion thereof should be sold to raise said sum of S2 491 92.
 The real estate of which portion thereof is required to be sold sufficient to raise said sum, consists of the following pieces or par cels of land, to wit
 1st.

 Your applicant therefore prays said Court to inquire into the truth Of the foregoing allegations. and on finding the same to be true, to order the sale of a sufficient portion of the real estate hereinbefore described, or an undivided interest therein, as shall appear to said Court most for the interest of said estate and your applicant as in duty bound will ever pray.

favor Wallacks Theatre that Mr. Walack intends to
keep the stage until the end of the dramatic

cast parts with which this fyorite comedy has been
revived Is uncommOnly fecituous and the result is
performance OF exceptional strength and beauty. Mr.

brilliant talents and John Gilbert Jesse Rural Is perl

produced for the first time any stage play by

TIE EIELD CIVIL CODE.

The friends of the Field Civil Code, including
Mr.. Field himself, profess to be confident that
it will be passed by the Senate this week. 1t
has already been passed by the Assembly by
a close vote, after one failure TO secure a
majority vote.
If this measure becomes a law, It's conse-
quences are certain to be marked, and in the
opinion of many Of the best Of our lawyers and
judges to be most unfortunate. In spite of the
long time il has been before the public, Ii Is
not vet thoroughly understood. Not one in
ten of practising lawyers will pretend to have
anything more than the most indefinite knowl-
edge of its contents. The proportion among
members Of the Legislature is perhaps still
less. The sentiment Of the majority of lawyers
who have examined it, and especially among
those of widest reputation and influence, is
strongly adverse. Under the circumstances
the Republican Senate cannot afford to take
any hasty action. There is no popular demand
for It's enactment Many sections in it are GER

4 COLLAPSE OF CLAPTRAP.

The campaign buster of the UnOnists has
suddenly subsidized. Sir Charles Lewis, one Of
those meddlesOmc marplOts who upset the
best-laid schemes, has insisted upon raising
q question of Parliamentary privilege respect
ing "The London Timcs's' assaults upon the
Irish members The Government startled by
the proposition has resolved to oppose the
motion to summon the Editor of "The Times
to the bar of the Commons, but has offered to
conduct libel suit against the journal In
defence Of the Irish members. A more farclcal
proposal was never made by the leader of any
Government Neither Mr.. Parnel nor Mr..
Dillon desires the legal protection OF Tory
Attorney General. They have neither time
nor inclination for libel suits against journal
which could have in this matter the support
and sympathy of English juries and certainly
they do not wish to have their defence con
Quoted by their bittercst political foes. A
Parliamentary inquiry opening with the sum-
moning Of the libellers TO the bar OF the
Commons would delight them; but in legal
proceedings for the vindicaton of their rep
utations they do not desire to employ the law
officers Of the Crown.
The disgraceful scenes in Parliament yes
terday were brought on by the collapse of
Unonist claphap. Ever since the specous
Parnel forgery was published the Tories and
Harrington Liberals have been wagging their
heads and clamorng for libel suit They
have persisted in declaring that a refusal on
the part of Mr. Parnell to drag the Editor OF
"The London Times into court would be
equivalent to a confession of guilt. Although
the burden of proof rested on the aocuser,
since the letter was so clumsy and stupid IA
forgery as to be generally discreditcd within
forty eight hours, the combined chorus of
rumbling Tory BASES and shlill Unionist
trebles has ceased not day nor night to demand
the acceptance of the challenge. Finally ono
of the Conservative hotspurs, without consult
ing the Government, ventures to bring MIR
Dillon's accuser to the bar Of Parliament. There
is CONSERVATION in the front Government
benches, followed at the end Of the first
nights debate by the hollow device Of Gov
eminent prosecutions for vindication of the
characters Of the Irish members. 1t is not
surprising that SO preposterous a proposal
should have been greeted with contempt and
derison and that yesterdays session should
have been one of unparalleled excitement and
bitterness,

THE BEHRING SEA FISHERIES.


The attempt of the British Government TO raise the
question Jurisdiction OF this country the Behrng
Sea- place this question on the same ground as
that relating TO the fisheries on the Atlantic coast IS one
that ought TO fail. The two questions are entirely
distinct We have, nation, certain historical rights
In the Canadian fisheries which were recognized IN the
Treaty OF Peace and which subsequently restricted
by the terms of the Treaty OF 1918 The threemile limit
is defined by treaty law, and while the method OF
accepted without question by both Governments. On
the other hand the Russian Government had certain
historical rights In Behrng Sea- which the United states
in 1867 acquired by purchase Part OF the territory
acquired by that purchase the Aleutan Islands,
which extend from the mainland some two hundred
miles, and make the waters to the north OF them an In
closed sea- There can be question on the part OF
Great Britain to the right OF Russia to convey these
islands. since Russas right TO them was acquired by
treaty with Great Britain made in 1929 The right or
the United States rests directly upon the conveyance
from Great Britain to Russia The rights are defined by
treaty law, and the threemile limit 10 excluded.

TO THE REPUBLICANS OF NEW: YORK.

TO THE REPUBLICANS OF NEW YORK
If it is wise in time Of peace to prepare for
war then it cannot be unwise to get ready for
an important political campaign during the
off months. The campaign of next fall in this
State is certain to call out full vote, for many
of the leading public Offices are to be filed.
new Senate and Assembly are to be chosen.
Secretary Of State, Controller, an Attorney
General, Treasurer, and State Engineer
and Surveyor are also to be selected. In addi-
ton, in nearly all the Counties the local tickets
will sensiby add to the interest and gravity
of the canvass
Now il will not be difficult for the Repub-
licans to retain their control of the Legislature.
The record of this session has been of a sort
to strengthen the majority. 1t has not been
of a sort to induce thoughtful electors TO re-
store the Democracy TO power either in the
Senate or the Assembly But can the Re-
pubcans do more than hold their ownf The
State Offices which are TO be filled are now
held by Democrats. Can they be rcgained by
the Republicans There is good reason for
answering these questions in the Affirmative.
The course of the Democratic lawmakers on
the great reform measures Of the year, the
weakened the party all along the line. Voters
whose party ties sit loosely upon them must have
been anew impressed with the fact that current
Democracy is foe TO the public veal, since
it is the plant tool of the rum power. And
another source Of weakness TO the Democratic
canvass will be Governor Hill He has done
little this year except to appear in the role OF
wire-pullcr and a pipe-laycr. Some of his
State papers have been hardly disGnguishable
from the regulation campaign document. Such
an official is well calculated to help the party
TO which he is opposed.
Hence it is that we feel warranted in saying
to our party friends that if they take time by
the forcIock and make rcsoutc canvass there
is no reason why they should not win notable
victory in November. The Republicans of
New ork are in good fighting trim they arc
harmonious and united; their representatives
at Albany have given an excellent account of
themselves this winter. Hence we can conf
IDENTIFY appeal TO tho people at the November
ballot box for their support Let the county
and town committees be organized in good
season with the determination that every vote
which is or which ought to be Republican shall
Ike secured to beat the Democracy in the coming
fight.
